I always knew others fantasized about Indyan. He's a pretty hot rock. FYI, me and him have hit the skids.

Consider takin' some survivalist training. My first lesson was about the best ways to poop in the woods. Did you know that using a flat rock is one of the best ways to clean your bottom? Hmm, I wonder if Indyan has turned up yet...

Unrestricted concealed and open carry.

"An armed society is a polite society" - Robert Heinlein

"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government" -- Thomas Jefferson

"The best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed." -- Alexander Hamilton

"The bearing of arms is the essential medium through which the individual asserts both his social power and his participation in politics as a responsible moral being..." -- J.G.A. Pocock

"That the said Constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the press or the rights of conscience; or to prevent the people of the United states who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms..." -- Samuel Adams

Not that I think very many here would believe . . . .

I would use a sword by Walt to slice the seasonal fruitcake while standing on a roundabout ... for a Klondike bar.

Put a fence around Potter's to keep the riff raff from bathin' in it once a year.

Lawrence is pretty safe place. Wimpy. But, safe in comparison to other places.

Being afraid is just borrowing trouble. I try to live my life unafraid of everything. If you let things bother you, things will bother you. Enjoy your life with a positive attitude. The glass is half full, not half empty.

For a town this size I think it is a safe place to be. People just need to be aware of whats happening around them, put the c/fone away tell you get to your car, then us it like 1/3 of our drivers., no just kidding, wait tell you get home to us,please

Always with the "safety!" Lawrence is a pretty durn safe community. We've already surrendered enough "freedoms" in the name of safety.

Not everything is a damn liberal/conservative issue... T_O_B

You got that right!

Everyone should just buy a dog

SOS 1 year, 6 months ago

Issue guns and ammo to everyone over 18 and make it mandatory to carry if you leave your place of residence.

g_rock 1 year, 6 months ago

Maybe the University could call EVERY student EVERY night and remind them to lock their door at night. Oh wait, that is what Mommy is for.

Josh, walk your dog down 12th street.I paid for those lights as well as a crossing signal just so you and and the other ~~parasites~~ students wouldn't have to be put out by having to go one whole block over

I already think Lawrence is safe unless you do something stupid.

"I knew Lawrence was liberal and overestimated the safety of the city. ”

Detroit, Chicago and Kansas City are liberal cities and have horrible crime statistics. Good grief. Not everything is a damn liberal/conservative issue.

The LJW just won awards for photography. I'm going to have to assume is was for the print edition.

Yesterday a byline said something about the kicker on the football team being just one foot shy...and all I could think of was the guy a couple of years ago that kept his amputated foot in a jar on the front porch.

Everybody needs a jar with a body part in it on their front porch.

Perhaps make good use of the police they have by fighting actual crime instead of constantly setting up speed traps at places like across the street from Hallmark.

Liberty275 1 year, 6 months ago

Make everyone wear helmets, all the time. And carry a fire extinguisher.

alcoholbliss 1 year, 6 months ago

Maybe Josh needs a bigger dog? Pit-bull maybe? What happen to people being responsible for their own safety?

Offer free kerosene for night time lanterns, whistles, tasers?
Have big brother install more cameras a top KU buildings and downtown Lawrence? Close KU down, seal off the boarders to KC and Topeka and stop letting riffraff in Lawrence in the first place?

Notice how none of the answers were build a new $999 million dollar PD facility and add more police?

And take away all fire arms from former police chiefs that like to go and shoot off random rounds. It would make Lawrence and Kansas University much safer without high powered bullets raining down upon us. - As for all psychos that are over armed and unqualified. . . . Geez
